#so I want to smash facts and headcanons together somehow and this is the funniest version I can think of

I love the hc of Impulse being the "gives great hugs" hermit as much as anyone (actually I'm very attached to this hc) and yet on the other hand: it's hilarious to imagine hermit-Impulse with irl-Impulse's "please do not hug me. do not want" trait, but everyone still assumes he's a hugger because a) he is too nice to discourage people until he knows them really well and at that point it's too late and b) he actually does give great hugs, to his everlasting chagrin.
